How Much Does Sovos (Taxify) Cost in 2025?

Keeping up with constantly evolving tax rules can be costly and complicated, which makes Sovos an ideal solution for multinational and/or multichannel brands. Armed with a broad selection of products and services, Sovos aims to help companies automatically calculate and file outstanding taxes with government authorities.

Unfortunately, like many major brands in the tax compliance industry, Sovos rarely discloses its pricing details. Costs are usually quote-based, products are modularized, and final costs vary based on use case, company, head count, and other factors.

In this guide, we’ll break down what we’ve learned about Sovos pricing, explore hidden costs and fees, and explore how it compares to other brands on the market.

Let’s get started.

What are Sovos Sales Tax Services?

A global leader in tax compliance software, Sovos helps multinational and multichannel businesses simplify their complex tax obligations.

The company was initially established to help brands manage indirect taxes like sales and VAT. In recent years, Sovos has expanded its footprint through strategic acquisitions of tax-focused software companies like Taxify, Invoiceware, and TrustWeaver.

Today, Sovos provides a comprehensive range of solutions across indirect tax, tax withholding, and regulatory reporting.

Sovos Indirect Tax Suite, the company’s flagship offering, is modular by design. Working with a sales rep, brands can select and implement the services they require in order to succeed. Sovos also integrates seamlessly with ERP systems, e-commerce platforms, and financial applications, enabling businesses to maintain compliance even as tax regulations evolve across jurisdictions.

However, the downside of this approach is that the complete Sovos solution may still be incomplete due to its own modularity. For example, a brand in need of exemption certificate management may end up needing to purchase CertManager if the standard solution doesn’t cover it.

This is a major deviation from brands like TaxCloud, which offers an all-in-one solution (complete with integrations) at a competitive, scalable cost.

What’s included in Sovos?

Sovos provides a modular set of products and solutions designed to help businesses automate and streamline tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

The Sovos suite covers indirect tax calculations, regulatory reporting, global tax withholding, and more. Each feature is available as separate modules or bundled packages tailored to specific business needs.

The following table summarizes the primary services Sovos offers and what each typically includes:

These features may require separate licensing or pricing, based on your specific use case and compliance requirements.

For example the Sovos Indirect Tax Suite functions as a standardized, all-in-one solution built around VAT, sales tax filing, e-invoicing, and filing. However, reporting and receipt tools vary, meaning that additional add-ons may be required in order to create a holistic solution that aligns with your business needs.

While working with a rep to determine a final price, many of these solutions may be folded into a customized bundle based on business requirements and overall scale.

How much does Sovos cost?

Sovos used a quote-based pricing model tailored to each client’s specific needs. Factors like transaction volume, the number of covered jurisdictions, integration requirements, company size, and selected modules can all play a factor in determining final cost.

As a brand, Sovos is focused on consolidating global tax compliance into a single platform. The result is an end-to-end business solution targeted primarily for enterprise brands and with specific tools available for deep ERP integrations.

However, because Sovos products are modular, businesses will pay separately for core services like indirect tax calculation, filing, exemption certificate management (easy to do in TaxCloud!), and e-invoicing compliance. Additional fees may apply for filing in multiple states or countries, accessing advanced API, or adding regulatory reporting solutions.

Sovos pricing estimates

Although Sovos doesn’t publish any official pricing, a few historical and third-party resources can help to paint a rough picture of what users should expect to pay.

Here’s what we found during our research:

• Vendr suggests between $5,500 and $38,000 per year, with a median annual cost of around $16,000. This places Sovos in the middle of the road between per-transaction solutions like TaxCloud and profit sharing solutions like Avalara or Stripe Tax.
• Historical estimates suggest that small businesses using Taxify (before acquisition) paid between $50 and $200 per month, but the Indirect Tax Suite and other modern solutions are likely to cost substantially more.
• Reviewers on GetApp and TrustRadius are lukewarm about their Sovos experience, with many citing incorrect tax calculations or a rough support experience that made them question overall costs and value for money.

While these costs are only third-party estimates, it’s clear that the range of potential solutions varies greatly between contracts.

Users who pick up a single Sovos product are likely to pay less when compared to users who acquire a dedicated software package with specialized integrations, but it’s difficult to say with certainty what the final costs will be.

Sovos: Core products

Sovos offers a variety of core and mainstay products built to help businesses manage indirect taxes, regulatory reporting, and tax withholding.

Each solution is structured to be scalable allowing companies to select only the services they need for their business.

Indirect Tax Suite

Part of the Intelligent Compliance Cloud, Sovos Indirect Tax Suite automates the calculation, collection, and filing of indirect taxes.  This includes sales and use tax, VAT, and excise taxes.

The platform helps businesses accurately determine tax rates across multiple regions and jurisdictions, manage exemption certificates, and stay compliant with constantly evolving local, state, and international tax laws. This suite also includes legacy functionality from Taxify, which historically served smaller businesses with streamlined sales and tax management solutions.

Unlike most other solutions offered by Sovos, the Indirect Tax Suite acts as a multi-functional hub where multiple teams can align their efforts to stay on top of compliance and regulatory issues.

Filing and reporting solutions

Beyond calculating taxes, Sovos provides tools for preparing and submitting required filings to government agencies. Filing and reporting services cover a broad range of compliance obligations, including each of the following:

• U.S. sales tax returns
• International VAT filings
• 1099 form submissions
• W-2 reporting
• Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliance.

Sovos offers software solutions and filing processes for each scenario, automating most of the data preparation and filing processes to help businesses avoid penalties from late or inaccurate submissions.

However, note that while we’ve grouped many of these core features together into a single subcategory, brands may need to pay for them separately, based on usage. For example, a European company that needs to handle VAT filings may not need ACA compliance tools.

Tax withholding

Sovos’s tax withholding solutions help businesses manage obligations related to contractor payments, supplier transactions, and cross-border activities.

The platform supports compliance with 1099 reporting in the US, FATCA and CRS reporting for international payments, and withholding obligations for royalties, dividends, and other taxable payments. For companies working with a global contractor base or foreign suppliers, Sovos simplifies complex withholding rules and automates reporting to relevant tax authorities.

Similar to the filing and reporting solutions above, Sovos spreads this functionality across multiple different platforms and individualized services. While you’ll only pay for the functionality you need, these features may be included with or purchased as a standalone, separate from the main software solution you ultimately choose.

Additional costs

In addition to core product fees, businesses working with Sovos should be prepared for potential additional costs.

Many specialized solutions, particularly those related to e-invoicing and custom integrations, are considered add-ons and are priced separately. The total cost can vary significantly depending on business size, transaction volume, level of customization, and more.

Implementation fees

Sovos usually charges separate fees for implementation and onboarding, particularly for businesses requiring custom integrations or complex setups.

These fees can range from a few thousand dollars to significantly more for large or complex organizations. Typically, implementation takes place in the form of a lead up, where dedicated specialists work with a brand to unwind from their old tax solution and onboard to the Sovos platform.

This becomes tricky (and costly), when teams need to integrate with existing ERP systems, pre-configured e-commerce platforms, or dedicated financial applications, as the data flowing to and from Sovos needs to be mapped correctly against these external applications.

While this is critical for many businesses, multiple reviews suggest that Sovos’s onboarding and implementation process isn’t always seamless because the Sovos platform is a collection of separate software tools that aren’t part of a unified whole.

E-invoicing

With Sovos, compliance with government-mandated electronic invoicing laws — especially in countries like Brazil, Italy, and Mexico — is treated as an additional service. This feature is treated separately from the rest of the Sovos platform and is highlighted as its own service.

With e-invoicing, teams will be able to connect with other tools, like VAT reporting, in order to generate compliant invoices. Fields within the invoicing software can also be mapped via XML to align with local tax administration requirements.

However, all of this comes with added costs. Businesses in need of e-invoicing solutions should expect separate pricing based on the number of countries where tax is collected, overall transaction volume, and integration requirements.

API access and associated fees

Outside of the pre-built connector marketplace, Sovos also offers API connectivity and custom integration options.

By default, the platform integrates seamlessly with Magento, SAP, and NetSuite, as well as a few other platforms. Beyond that, ERP REST integrations make it possible to integrate Sovos with other UIs and interfaces by mapping fields and data connected to other software solutions.

The fees associated with this level of integration will vary based on scale, usage, and data costs. While it’s possible to use these tools to generate additional out-of-box functionality between Sovos and other tools, be prepared to take on additional costs in order to get these systems to work.

Factors influencing Sovos pricing

Sovos doesn’t disclose their pricing on public forums (including their website), so it’s difficult to get a clear view of total costs.

While this is a major deviation from TaxCloud and a few other brands, which offer transparent pricing, it’s a common sales tactic in the tax compliance industry. Because Sovos pricing is quote-based and customized to each client, several key factors influence the final cost of a solution.

Businesses engaging with Sovos should expect pricing to vary based on the following:

• The software modules required for operation
• The number of jurisdictions or regions where coverage is required
• Transaction volume and complexity
• Integration and API requirements
• Support levels
• Additional or one-time services and fees

To get a better understanding of final costs, you’ll need to go through the entire quoting process with a Sovos sales rep.

Sovos vs competitors

Sovos competes with several major providers in the tax compliance space, each with its own strengths, weaknesses, and pricing models. Understanding how Sovos compares can help businesses evaluate the best fit for their specific needs and budgets.

*This data is based on third-party sources including Vendr, GetApp, and various online customer reviews. Actual prices may vary based on usage, contract terms, and modules selected.

Stay compliant and save with TaxCloud

While Sovos offers a robust suite of compliance solutions for complex, multinational businesses, many small to mid-sized companies may find its pricing and modular structure difficult to navigate. For businesses looking for a simpler, more affordable alternative, TaxCloud provides an attractive option.

TaxCloud offers transparent pricing, straightforward plan tiers, and all core features (including sales tax calculation, automated filing, and nexus tracking) bundled into affordable monthly or annual plans. With no hidden fees, U.S-based customer support, and robust integrations for e-commerce and ERP platforms, TaxCloud makes it easy for growing businesses to stay compliant without overpaying for enterprise-level solutions.
